[Fall River, MA] Community Connections, a leading provider in Southeastern Massachusetts of services for adults with disabilities, is feeling the love from Stateline Subaru. When representatives from Community Connections, Inc. (CCI) arrived at the Brayton Point Rd. Somerset dealership on Thursday, May 9, 2024 to receive a donation generated from the 2023 Subaru Share the Love Event, they weren’t sure what to expect.

Subaru retailers across the U.S., including Stateline Subaru, participate in the annual Subaru Share the Love Event, demonstrating their commitment to being “More Than a Car Dealer.” Customers purchasing or leasing during the campaign period can choose one of four national charity partners or a local hometown charity of the retailer’s choice to receive donations.

“We were delighted to be selected as Stateline Subaru’s hometown charity,” said Rhonda Partridge, Community Connections Fall River Service Director “but didn’t really know what that could mean as far as a donation.” Partridge and her colleagues were overwhelmed with emotion when Stateline Subaru General Manager, Al Vieira revealed a check for $40,548.

Rebecca Carr, Love Promise Community Commitment Manager for Subaru of New England said, “At Subaru, our favorite time of the year is when our retailers present their Share the Love event checks to their Hometown Charity partners.” Carr continued, “The surprise and joy we witness when revealing these very significant donation amounts, shows the profound impact our retailers can have on these amazing local community organizations.”

“This is far beyond anything we could have expected,” said Community Connections Chief Operating Officer, Joe Krajewski. “We’re incredibly grateful to Stateline Subaru’s commitment to supporting our local community and the people we serve.”
